The world’s first Roald Dahl + Vintage Sewing Machine museum is *nearly* open for business! (Another box of Dahl stuff still to unload…) 😅

I had a great time today track hosting at the YOW! Australia Tech Leaders Summit. Thanks to Steffen and the team for inviting me! Great talks, good conversations, and I even got to try on an Apple Vision Pro. (I didn’t turn it on; I just took a selfie. 😂🥽)

Civic duty complete! (We’ll be away on Saturday so we had to vote early.) After confirming my name and address, the poll worker handed over my ballot. “Is that an American accent?” he said, chuckling. “Our elections are a little different. For example, we actually try to HELP you to vote!” 😬 He’s not wrong. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes, and I didn’t even need to show ID. #democracy 🇦🇺

Very important and delicate mending complete! My lace dirndl blouse has a channel for a ribbon at the front so you can adjust the amount of décolletage you wish to display. However, mine was off-center and it always annoyed me. So today I *very carefully* unpicked the gauze, moved it, and reattached. It worked! #oktoberfestpreparation 🪡 🧵

Self-care is very important. 😂❤️

We are killing it in terms of productivity today: the Snook made some key progress in sorting out our retirement accounts, installed four new hooks in the bathroom and bedroom, and baked a blueberry buckle. Meanwhile I wiped an old MacBook and prepped for recycling, finally refilled the olive oil bottle, did three loads of laundry, and mended three shirts and a pair of pants. The collapse is imminent…. 😅
